Re: Coronavirus

Looks like we're now going to be getting timely stats in the UK that cover coronavirus deaths regardless of where they occurred. Good to get this clarity.

The UK is set to discover a true toll of coronavirus deaths today when the Government unveils figures for fatalities in hospitals, care homes and the community.
There has previously been a lag in numbers between hospitals and other settings, such as care homes, but Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the public would receive up-to-date figures to go alongside the number of hospital deaths as of Wednesday. The UK's national testing coordinator Professor John Newton has said he expects a "substantial number" of care home deaths will be detailed.
